Description
Excerpt from The Historians'' History of the World, Vol. 2 of 25: A Comprehensive Narrative of the Rise and Development of Nations as Recorded by Over Two Thousand of the Great Writers of All Ages; Israel, India, Persia, Phoenicia, Minor Nations of Western Asia
Translated for the present work from Geschichte des Volks Israel.
Many a nation has walked God''s earth, has long enjoyed its good things, has come into being and passed away, without our knowing anything Of its history, or even whether it had a history at all. For no nation has a history except one that makes history, that is to say, that in?uences the course of human development. It is with races as with individuals; none is kept in mind by posterity save those who have distinguished themselves by ideas that have modified the life of mankind, or (which comes to the same thing) have been pioneers in fresh fields Of action. The greater the Spiritual gain a nation has brought to the rest of the world, the longer and more steadily its life has ?owed in the channels it was the first to make, the longer is its history told among them. The nations of history are those which have put forward, in one fashion or another, their claim to the dominion of the world.
